This old Catalan house has been fully restored with a large terrace off the first floor living room with unobstructed views of the coast of Roses. The backdrop is a mountainside covered in wildflowers. The surrounding land has an 8m x 4m pool, fruit trees, a hammock and lots of space to explore. There are 2 double bedrooms and 2 triple bedrooms (one has a bunk bed plus a single bed, the other a double plus a single). The master bedroom has an en-suite mosaic tiled bathroom. There is a covered porch area at the ground floor level outside the kitchen for alfresco dining. This authentic old Catalan house is at the top of a lovely little village with all the local shops you need, the fabulous local pool and some good restaurants too. The beautiful costal town of Cadaques is only 45 mins away. The nearest beach (and there are beatiful beaches all along this coast) is 5km away. And the Pyrenees are less than an hour's drive. An ideal place to escape to in the heart of Daliland.

Accessibility

Outside
Beautiful rural setting of the garden on the hillside means that you can do walks directly from the garden either up the hillside to the chapel of St Onofre (approx 45 mins up) or shorter walks down to the village or just up and around the hillside. Great for kids to go exploring and great for hikes too. Longer walks to the Monastery of St Pere de Rodes and to Llanca, Port de La Selva and Cadaques are all possible from the back garden too.
Coast/Beach
The coastal town of Roses is about 4 km away and has many restaurants and shops and a long sandy beach. For a less developed beach try San Marti D'Empuries (half hour) or San Pere Pescador(half hour) with its fine sandy beach and not a restaurant or shop in sight!

Phenomenal Menu de Degustation is 70 euros.
